Discussions

Pending Proposals

• Nature and Scientific American - Still waiting for archives pricing.  Cindy and Mary will meet with them at ALA.
• Rosetta Stone - Pricing is in the selection system and 4 libraries have selected this for FY15.
• APA PsycTHERAPY - no updates since Cindy spoke with the rep to explain that the current pricing model is too expensive for smaller institutions and a more progressive or graduated pricing model would work better for the consortia members.

FY15 Database Selection and system redesign process

The selection system is now closed and all participating libraries have made their selections.  The proposal for Phase 3 of the redesign process is pending.
